Hello, friends and family -
David continues his therapies at Valley Med. Recently, he has shown improvement with the introduction of a new medication, Sinamet, usually used for patients with Parkinson's Disease. With this new drug, David has shown increased alertness, initiation and improved cognition skills. He is walking in physical therapy with assistance. At this point there is no date set for discharge back to Learning Services in Gilroy, but we hope to determine a discharge date soon. In the meantime, please keep visiting David. He has been in the hospital for almost two months and I know that the visits make a difference for him. It is a good idea to bring a board game (he particularly likes backgammon) to play during your visit. Remember, best times to visit are late afternoons, evenings and especially weekends.
The children are doing well, working hard at Yavneh Day School (Joshie is in 2nd grade and Hannah is in 4th.) Joshie started taking karate and is very proud to have earned his orange belt; he also is taking a chess course and will probably start playing competitively in the spring. Both Hannah and Joshie are enjoying their roles as munchkins (among many other roles!) in the Los Gatos JCC's production of The Wizard of Oz, set to run February 3, 4, 10 & 11 at the Heritage Theater in Campbell. For tickets and information you can call Cheryl Bordy at 871-2039. Please tell her you're calling for the Michelbergs so that the kids can get credit for selling tickets.
Some news about me. I am enjoying my new role behind the scenes as assistant musical director for The Wizard of Oz. My voice studio is thriving; I have twelve students ranging in age from eleven to fifty-something and I am having a great time with all of them. There is still room in my studio, particularly for those that can come for lessons during the school day. As you can imagine, I'm trying to keep afternoons and weekends free so I can be with the kids.
I am also still actively performing. On December 10 at 7 p.m., I will be the alto soloist for Handel's Messiah (my apologies to the Jewish community!) The performance is with the Symphony Silicon Valley and Chorale at the beautiful California Theater in downtown San Jose. My sister Lisa is also singing on this concert with the Chorale. Please consider coming to hear us:

Many thanks to those of you who have brought meals since David has been in the hospital. It is so helpful and supportive. Thanks as well to Temple Emanu-El for continuing to provide the list server for these updates.
Be well, Chanukah sameach and happy holidays.
Rachel
